I was thinking wheter it is possible to create a sort of "proxy" window which displays the content of another. Of course, the further step would be to also pass events from the proxied window to the source one. Is this even possible?


 What are you trying to do?

Usually, "content" translates to "model", "display" generally translates to "view", so according to the Model-View-Controller paradigm, you could create another instance of your controller that has its own copy of the views, but points at the same model, instead of forwarding events.

That's one of the advantages of Cocoa's MVC design: If you separate the view and the model code, you can easily have several windows showing the same data. It's also more flexible than just duplicating a window and forwarding its contents, because it can be scrolled to a different location, can have a different toolbar collapse state, can be a different size etc.
